EVLBI.org introduces the European VLBI Network (EVN), a radio telescope network primarily based in Europe and Asia, with additional antennas in South Africa and Puerto Rico. It is not a course platform for the general public, but an observational infrastructure and user support portal for astronomy researchers. The site provides information on observing proposals, technical capabilities, data archives, data reduction guides, tutorials, training activities, and user support.
From an education/course perspective, EVN’s core value lies in professional research training. Users can learn about EVN’s observing frequencies, antennas, sensitivity, observing modes, and limitations; use observation planning tools and source-finding tools; and learn how to submit proposals, prepare observing schedules, find calibrator sources, and process post-correlation data. The site also offers the EVN Data Reduction Guide, a collection of tutorials, and training schools and info, making it suitable for learning the EVN data reduction workflow.
The main content does not disclose fees for courses, training schools, or tutorials, nor does it mention certificates. EVN observing time follows an Open-Sky policy, with three calls for observing proposals each year. The deadlines are February 1, June 1, and October 1 at 16:00 UTC. Access to observing resources requires submitting a proposal and undergoing review; it is not a pay-to-learn or pay-to-use model.
Its strength is its high research value: EVN is described as the world’s most sensitive VLBI array and supports real-time observations. JIVE provides support for proposal preparation, scheduling, correlation processing, and data analysis, making it relatively friendly to astronomers with limited VLBI experience. The downside is that the entry barrier is clearly high, and the content is highly specialized, making it unsuitable for general learners. The main site content also lacks common course-related information such as course syllabi, teaching language, certificates, and training fees.
It is suitable for astronomers, radio astronomy researchers, graduate students, and research teams that need to use EVN data, especially those hoping to apply for EVN observations or learn VLBI data processing. Access from China is not mentioned in the main content, so it is not possible to determine whether the site can be accessed directly.
